•||Ch24: Stealing his Heart||•

||Third Person POV||

Her eyes moved to the door and a hope shone in her eyes to see him coming back when the knob jiggled. She slouched back in the bed when the door opened and amma bi entered but, nonetheless, tried to smile at her.

"How are you, dear?" Amma bi asked her, softly when she approached her and sat on the stool beside the bed.

"I don't know," Mishal answered her with a sad smile.

Amma bi looked at her with a frown and moved her hairs from her pale face. Amma bi wanted to ask her something but decided not to.

"You will be fine," Amma bi told her, softly and held her hand and kissed it.

A doctor entered the room with a nurse and smiled at amma bi and Mishal. Doctor checked on Mishal and the nurse handed her medicine with a glass of water. Mishal gulped them down and handed the glass back to the nurse.

"Is everything OK, Dr.?" Amma bi asked the doctor.

"For now, everything is alright but we can't say anything for future," Doctor told amma bi, sincerely.

Due to Medicine, Mishal's eyes were closing slowly but she was trying to fight back. However, her eyes finally shut and she slumbered deeply in sleep.

"What do you mean?" Amma bi asked the doctor.

"Her pregnancy is risky and there are highly chances of her going into early labour which can happen at anytime," Doctor answered her and glanced at Mishal who was sleeping now.

Amma bi nodded her head and prayed silently for Mishal and her unborn baby. Doctor excused herself and walked out of the room with nurse.

Amma bi sat on the couch that was near the bed and pulled her phone out with determination. She was dead set on making everything peaceful between Mishal and Zayaan. Amma bi dialed a number and it was answered on the first ring.

.........

"Any order for me?" was the answer came from other side of the phone.

.........

"Tell me what happened that night," Amma bi asked him, strictly.

"Only truth, Asad!" She added, firmly.

.........

"I was doing my duty that night like usual when Qadir came to me and told me that the boss sent him to replace our position. I thought the boss must had ordered us so I went back to the warehouse to do Qadir's duty but I didn't know it was a trap. On that same night, someone drugged boss and the next day he found himself beside Mishal bhabhi... on her bed," He told her the truth, hesitantly because he knew if he didn't tell her then she would dig his grave and threw him inside it alive.

.........

"And Zayaan believed that he did this to Mishal," Amma bi said to herself and looked at Mishal with sad face.

.........

"Amma bi, I-I think boss hasn't done this. He can't do something like this with Mishal bhabhi even in his wildest dream," Asad told her, slowly.

.........

"Qadir," Amma bi whispered with wide eyes and her heart cried with blood tears for Mishal.

"Do you think?" Amma bi asked him and clenched her fist on her lap tightly.

.........

"I don't know honestly but.. there are chances," He answered her.

"Next day, when we went to find him for answers, we found his dead body. I think he did this because he was Wasir's man and was leaking information about boss to Wasir. And maybe he was killed by Wasir," He added.

.........

"Do a job for me," Amma bi told him and slowly looked away from Mishal.

"Go to Qadir's house and find something that will help us for his DNA," Amma bi ordered him.

.........

"OK!"

.........

Amma bi hung up the phone and leaned her head against the wall and closed her eyes tightly with a tired sigh.

Zeba, Zayaan's mother, glared at her angry husband who was driving back to their house with Aabro sitting in the backseat. Aabro or should we say fake Aabro or Alia, was staring out of the window with a smirk dancing on her lips.

It was her work to make Zeba against Mishal's and Zayaan's marriage, specially Mishal. She was feeling happy and proud of the fire which she sparked in Zeba's heart.

Once they all reached home, Alia went to her room with a satisfied smirk and Zeba stomped to her room in anger. Zeba threw her bag on the bed in anger and paced here and there in the room with a scowl on her face.

"Are you in the right state of your mind, Zeba?" Umair, Zayaan's father, asked his wife as he entered the room.

Zeba turned around and glared at him which made him more angry.

"I am! But not you nor your mother neither your son are. Why can't you all see I am doing what is best for our son and our family!" Zeba yelled at him.

Umair took steps towards her and stood in front of her and held her arm tightly.

"Stay away from his happiness, Zeba. You are not a kid whom I have to make everything understand. You are a mother of two kids from which one you have already lost but don't do anything to lose your other son. He is happy with her and being his mother, it's your duty to be happy with his choice," Umair tried to make her understand and left the room without glancing at her.

Once he reached his library, he dialed a number and sat on the couch. The phone was answered on the second ring.

.........

"Burn that sealed laboratory with his dangerous formulas!" He ordered his man.

.........

"I will," His man answered him.

.........

He hung up his phone and held his face in his hands with a sigh. He was dead set on finding his son and finished Wasir forever.

Meanwhile, Alia laid on the bed and looked at the ceiling with an evil smirk. She rolled on the bed and laid on her stomach before dialing Wasir's number.

.........

"I have distracted everyone," She told him the good news when he answered her call.

.........

"I know my lady can do anything," He said with a chuckle and she could hear the smirk dancing on his lips.

.........

"While everyone were busy hating and solving each others problems, you should now quickly sneak into the lab and steal your all formulas from there, so I can come back to you," Alia whispered and closed her eyes, imagining herself back in his arms.

What they both didn't know was that Umair had ordered his men to burn Wasir's sealed lab into ashes along with the formulas which was too dangerous because if those got into the wrong hands then everywhere would be destruction and fertile lands would turn into infertile lands.

Three days had passed and many things happened in these three days. Zayaan and his father worked together to get a hold of Wasir and they both had killed many of Wasir's men to know his real location and now they were very close to him.

Zayaan was sitting in his office when the door was knocked. He gave permission whoever was knocking. Hashim entered in the office with a file in his hand and a smug smile on his lips.

"I have news for you, boss. It is bad news but also good news at the same time," Hashim told Zayaan and passed him the file.

Zayaan opened the file and a smirk stretched on his lips when he saw the phone calls record of none other than fake Aabro or Alia.

"You are right, boss, she is not Aabro," Hashim informed him.

Zayaan's eyebrows shot up and he leaned back in his chair with a smirk and looked at the records. There was one number which was dialed many times and the time recorded was in hours.

"And boss, she is not home," He told Zayaan and waited for his orders.

"Track her and tell everyone to be ready. We are going to surprise Wasir with an attack," Zayaan ordered him and looked at the location of other unknown number which he believed, belonged to Wasir.

Hashim nodded his head and walked out of the office. Zayaan put the file on the desk and looked up at the ceiling and closed his eyes. He listened to his heartbeat silently which was beating for Mishal. Only he knew how he spent these three days without seeing her after she was hospitalized.

Tumse door rehna,

Ek sazaa hai majboori hai,

Meri zindagi to,

Yaar tere bin adhoori hai.

(Being far from you,

Is a punishment, a helplessness.

My life, O my beloved,

Is incomplete without you.)

He was getting filled her health by the doctors and he knew she would give birth at anytime. He had promised himself that he would make everything normal between them once he finished Wasir and would confess his love to her. He had made up his mind about starting a new life with Mishal after this mission.

Mishal was staring out of the window and quickly put her hand on her stomach when it hurt painfully. She squeezed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath. When the pain decreased, she opened her eyes slowly and tried to relax herself.

She was alone in her room with guards standing outside her room. No one was allowed to enter her room other than her doctor, nurse and family members excluding Aabro. Zayaan had ordered his man since day one to not let Aabro enter in the room.

Amma bi was in a safe side of the hospital where no one could see her. She was waiting for Asad to come quickly with the reports. When he approached amma bi, he handed her reports and looked at her. Amma bi looked around the area before opening the reports and looked at it with wide eyes.

"98.8888%" She whispered and felt someone threw heavy clouds on her shoulders.

Asad looked at her with white face and wide eyes. It was hard for both of them to believe that Qadir was the father of that unborn baby but somewhere, deep inside, they also felt happy to know Zayaan hadn't done anything to his Mishal.

"So..., what are you going to do?" Asad asked amma bi, slowly.

"What can I do! I will just accept that baby after all that baby is a part of our Mishal and I will make sure that everyone also accept that baby. Specially Zeba," She told him with a soft smile but frowned on Zeba's name.

Meanwhile, a Mishal's nurse entered her room after passing from the guards and smiled at her. She took the wheelchair which was in the corner of her room and made Mishal to sit on it.

"Where are you taking me?" Mishal asked her, softly.

"For some tests," Nurse answered her, politely and wheeled her out of the room.

Both guards who were stationed out of Mishal's room stopped the nurse and asked her where she was taking Mishal.

"I am taking her for a test which can't be done in this room," Nurse told the guards and they let her take Mishal but they also followed her.

Mishal was confused when she said that test can't be done in the room. She looked up at the nurse with a confuse frowned and put her hand on her bump.

"Can't we at least wait for amma bi? I don't want to do anything without her," Mishal asked her, slowly and looked around for amma bi but amma bi was in east wing and she was going in the west wing.

"We can't delay any test, ma'am," Nurse replied her and wheeled her in a room.

Guards stood out of that room while nurse took Mishal inside the room and locked the door silently.

"Why you lock the door?" Mishal asked her in fear and felt her heart beat abnormally.

A dark chuckle bought Mishal's attention from the nurse to the corner of the room. Her eyes opened widely and a gasp of horror escaped from her lips when she saw fake Aabro was standing in front of her, in black abaya and pistol in her hands.

Before Mishal screamed for help, Alia disguised in Aabro's identity shot the nurse but due to silencer on the pistol, guards outside the room didn't hear any noise. Few drops of nurse blood fell on Mishal's pale face. She looked down at the nurse dead body and put her hand on her mouth.

She was feeling sick inside and had urged to puke. Slowly by slowly, tears flowed down from her eyes and the day when Zayaan rescued her flashed in her mind. This was the second time she was witnessed someone dying in front of her eyes.

Before Mishal knew what was happening, Alia approached her and injected her which made her eyes to close on their own. Due to weakness, Mishal didn't have power to fight back. Alia quickly pulled the veil on her face and also put a full black shawl on Mishal and also covered her head with black veil.

"Now, Zayaan will understand how dangerous it is for him to burn our lab into ashes!" Alia said to herself and smirked.

Alia wheeled Mishal out of the room from the other door of that room and luckily dogged every guard and took Mishal out of the hospital from emergency door.

There was a car waited outside for them and Alia quick put Mishal inside the back seat and sat beside her. Alia removed her veil and her abaya and took a deep breath.

"This time it's his turn to lose something very dear," A man said from the passenger seat and turned around to look at Alia.

"Of course, Wasir! He burnt our lab and now it's our turn to burn him by torturing him," She said with venom dripping in her voice and glared at Mishal beside her.

Wasir chuckled at her and also looked at unconscious Mishal. After Zayaan and Umair burnt the lab, Wasir and Alia raged at them and decided to make Zayaan suffered.

• • •

Zayaan was on his way to Wasir's location when Hashim's phone rang. Zayaan glanced at him before focusing back on the road and drove at full speed. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Hashim's tense and angry. Hashim quickly hung up the phone and looked at Zayaan in anger.

"They took Mishal bhabhi!" Hashim informed him and clenched his fists tightly.

A wave of rage ran into Zayaan's veins and he broke the speed limit. He clenched his jaw and felt his heart clenching again and again for Mishal. His grip on the steering wheel was getting tight which made his knuckles turned into white. He was now full ready for Wasir blood and showed him what happened to those who stole his treasure, a part of his heart, his life, his Mishal.

What Wasir didn't know was that his awfully death was coming.
